<B>Subject:</B>FreeBSD 3.5 now available for x86</P>
|
|
|
|
<p>I'm pleased to announce the availability of FreeBSD 3.5-RELEASE,
|
|
the very LAST in 3.x-STABLE branch technology. Following the release
|
|
of FreeBSD 3.4 in December, 1999, many bugs were fixed, important
|
|
security issues dealt with, and even a few new features added.
|
|
Please see the <a href="notes.html">release notes</a> for more
|
|
information.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>FreeBSD 3.5-RELEASE is available at <a
|
|
href="ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/">ftp.FreeBSD.org</a> and
|
|
various <a href="../../handbook/mirrors.html">FTP
|
|
mirror sites</a> throughout the world. It can also be ordered on CD
|
|
from <a href="http://www.FreeBSDMall.com/">The FreeBSD Mall</a>,
|
|
from where it will be shipping soon on a 4 CD set containing
|
|
installation bits for x86 architecture, as well as a lot of
|
|
other material of general interest to programmers and end-users alike</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>We can't promise that all the mirror sites will carry the rather large
|
|
installation (660MB) image, but it will at least be available from:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><a
|
|
href="ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/3.5-install.iso">ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/3.5-install.iso</a></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>along with the more traditional 3.5-RELEASE bits. If you can't
|
|
afford the CDs, are impatient, or just want to use it for evangelism
|
|
purposes, then by all means download the ISO, otherwise please do
|
|
continue to support the FreeBSD project by purchasing one of its
|
|
official CD releases from BSDi.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The official FTP distribution site for FreeBSD is:</p>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><a
|
|
href="ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/">ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/</a></blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<p>Or via the WEB pages at:</p>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><a
|

|
|
and<br>
|
|
<a href="http://www.freebsd.org/">http://www.freebsd.org</a></blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<p>And directly from BSDi:</p>

|
|
|
|
<p>Additionally, FreeBSD is available via anonymous FTP from <a href="../../handbook/mirrors.html">mirror sites</a>
|
|
in the following countries: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Bulgaria,
|
|
Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Elbonia, Estonia, Finland, France,
|
|
Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Korea,
|
|
Latvia, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Rumania, Russia,
|
|
Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, the Ukraine
|
|
and the United Kingdom (and quite possibly several others which I've
|
|
never even heard of :).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Before trying the central FTP site, please check your regional
|
|
mirror(s) first by going to:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>ftp://ftp.<yourdomain>.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Any additional mirror sites will be labeled ftp2, ftp3 and so on.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The latest versions of export-restricted code for FreeBSD (2.0C or
|
|
later) (eBones and secure) are also being made available at the
|
|
following locations. Now that FreeBSD has export permission for
|
|
crypto from the United States government, you can get it from
|
|
these locations or from ftp.freebsd.org.</p>
